Youth

HKFWS reaches youngsters in their campuses. With the aim of "strengthening families", we provide professional counselling service to nurture youngsters’ holistic development. Stepping into the Generation Z, youngsters indulge in internet, which creates family conflicts and parenting problems. Our social workers help youngsters facilitate their communications with parents and relieve family tension to promote mutual respect and understanding among family members.

Online Learning

I am a single mother, and I lost my job due to the pandemic.  My son needs a computer to take online courses, but I can’t afford a new computer or any internet access charge for him. Besides, I have no idea on how to use computer software. Are there any social resources available to assist me?

 


Face-to-face teaching has been gradually evolved into online teaching in schools and academic institutions. However, many students lack electronic gadgets along with reliable and adequate Internet access at homes for facilitate their online learning. We understand parents’ concern on their children academic development. Some social welfare organisations have provided resources to assist families in relatable need.
